Mad Monkey Nacpan Beach

Mad Monkey El Nido hostel, was a great stay experience! The location is insanely beautiful, literally on the Napcan beach. The service was great, and the people working there are very warmhearted. Also, their cocktail and food selection is very enjoyable. Not to mention, their cabana rooms are such a vibe, and make you want to live on an island forever. It’s a very social hostel with many activities and opportunities to mingle. I will be coming back for sure :)!

Absolutely loved our stay at Mad Monkey Nacpan Beach! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted by James, who was incredibly welcoming and set the tone for an amazing stay. The atmosphere was full of good vibes, with tons of fun games and social activities that made it super easy to meet other travelers. 😍 We really appreciated the individual bathrooms — such a nice touch that added to the overall comfort. The food was also delicious, with plenty of options. Massive thanks to James and the rest of the Mad Monkey staff for making our stay so memorable. 🙌🏝️

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Mad Monkey Nacpan – Tropics, music & barefoot vibes Coming from New Caledonia, we’re used to tropical heat, sunsets and beach life — but Mad Monkey Nacpan still gave us something special 🌴 Right on one of the most beautiful beaches around, this place is all about good vibes, simple moments, and awesome people. We were lucky to be there for karaoke night, and it turned into a full-on free concert under the stars. So much fun, everyone singing and dancing — no need to know anyone, the energy brings you together naturally 🎤🌙 The staff is super chill, always smiling and ready to help without ever being pushy. You really feel like you’re part of a beach community. Now, just a couple of tropical tips: No AC, but hey — we’re used to that kind of heat 😉 A few sand bugs around, so bring your repellent just in case! But honestly, that’s all part of the raw, barefoot beach life. If you're looking to disconnect, meet beautiful souls, and dance in the sand, Mad Monkey Nacpan is calling.

We had an amazing stay! It was low season so pretty quiet but all the staff made us feel so welcome and we had a great time with them! Absolutely stunning location right on one of the most amazing beaches I’ve ever been. I would go back in a heartbeat!!

My stay at Mad Monkey Nacpan was truly unforgettable. The location, atmosphere, and vibe were incredible, and what made it even more special was meeting Shanel. She was so nice, helpful, and welcoming from the very start, making sure I had everything I needed. We connected so well that we’re still talking even after my stay — and I’m happy to say we’ve actually become friends. Can’t wait to come back!

Nacpan beach is absolutely one of the most beautiful places I have ever been, and the hostel is in a great location. My stay here was lovely, the staff were helpful and fun. A spesial thanks to Ivy and Shanel! They were so good to me. All inn all just a great place to stay, would recommend

One of the best locations in my life. The issue is that all the rest has the lowest quality of service I ever seen. The staff is super unprepared, le kitchen is extra slow in preparing also the easiest thing (40 mins for a scrambled egg), there is no air dryer in the hostel, no hot water, the staff is rude and lazy. Towels were already dirty the moment the gave it to us at the check in. The rooms are cheaply made, the electrical outlet didn’t work if you didn’t keep it pushed it all the way in. I could go on writing other stuff but I won’t. I’m not used to write such bad reviews, but my experience was so underwhelming that I had to write it.

One of the most beautiful places I have ever seen, one of the worst services I have ever had. No hot water. No hair drier. Dirty towels. The staff is highly unmotivated. 40 minutes to get some scrambled eggs (multiple times and with no other customer). Rooms are poorly cured, energy outlets not working, no key to get in the room. You can do better.
